Also revealed was that Esure (you know the ones - "Calm down dear, I'm just punching Michael Winner in the face!") does not insure film directors, and Sheilas' Wheels refuse to insure people who drive pink cadillacs.
Australian? Own a garishly pink dress? You're out!Whatever next? MoreThan not covering anyone who owns a dog named Lucky (yes yes, old ads I know, but it appears insurers are crazy!), Norwich Union/Aviva not insuring anyone who has ever changed their name?
Perhaps I'm well behind the times and this has been going on with all manner of products and services for years, but I just don't understand why the ASA have allowed these instances to occur, discrimination being the buzzword these days.
On a brief note whilst I continue to fathom this out, me and Sarah received the first visuals of our ads for Warrington Borough Transport today and they're looking pretty good! No matter how big or small this achievement seems to anyone else, we can't wait to see our first printed ads out there and be able to say "We made that!"
Feel free to make sick noises!

know exactly what you mean with the wanting to have the 'we made that' feeling! We've come close a few times but still waiting...! Once it does happen for us im not sure whether it will be an anticlimax or not.. Think it's pretty much a rite of passage for all young creatives though
Just got to keep plugging at it, but it'll come good for anyone who really wants it in the end. I know what you mean about it maybe being an anti-climax when it happens, but regardless of how big or small the client may be, it's your first ad out there which is just the beginning! : )
